Despite being happily married, 36-year-old Mindie has felt the need to hit back at internet trolls claiming she’s only with Sean for his money and that he could never satisfy her in bed.

The couple, both motivational speakers, met in 2009 and married in 2012.

Sean was born with rare bone disorder Osteogenesis Imperfecta, better known as Brittle Bone Disorder. The disorder stunted his growth and causes his bones to be extremely fragile. By 18, he’d already suffered over 200 bone fractures.

But, his high profile career as a therapist and motivational speaker – he earns up to $30,000 at a time for his talks and has shared the platform with the Dalai Lama and Bill Clinton – has seen the couple targeted by internet trolls.

One woman even emailed Mindie to ask if Sean allowed her to cheat on him to satisfy her needs or if she was with him for his money.

So, she’s decided to hit back publicly, saying, ‘Most people think I look past his disability, when his physical differences are clearly obvious. There is full acceptance here. We all have challenges – it’s just his are visible.’

And the loved-up couple are happy to confirm they have a great sex life. ‘Our sex life is bigger and better than most couples we know,’ says Mindie, who admits she thought Sean was a bit of a player when they first met. She adds: ‘It’s appalling to suggest that my husband cannot satisfy me sexually and it’s none of their business.’

‘I’m the most sexual person I know,’ agrees her husband. ‘Sex is probably the biggest part of my life.’

He goes on: ‘I think people are uncomfortable with the idea that those with disabilities are normal human beings and that they have sexual desires and fantasies and enjoy being touched and touching.’

‘I think it’s a big statement more abut people not being comfortable with their own bodies and the thought of the disabled having sex lives.’
